he got started to drill it before dinner and finished soon after and then ran out the ditches. I harrowed after the drill but spent most of the day doing chores. Neff went by to-night. He says he has to go to Leeds County and is very sorry to leave Norfolk. Aunty & Aunty Alice were over for tea to-night and Enah drove them home and was going to see Miss Newell for her birthday. Froze harder last night did {illegible}

Dad. and Tid have been down at Aunty's nearly all day fixing up the paths and Tid. cut all the lawn. I was most of the morning doing chores but got in about an hour before dinner cleaning ditches and spent a couple or so at the job this afternoon and got quite a lot done. Marj. drove Mexico down town this afternoon and took some self seeded lettuce plants down to Miss McQueen. To-night she and I drove up to George Duncan's with Queen and I returned his hens We came back to town by the Radical road and picked up Miss McQueen and took her for a little drive through Doan's Hollow. Beautiful night, has looked rainy to-day. Miss McQueen gave Marj. a lovely plant of buttercup the large kind to-day and Dad. brought home some dahlias
